BREAKING NEWS FROM Hepcat on location in Prospect Park.

THERE WAS A BIG SURPRISE AT TONIGHT’S CELEBRATE BROOKLYN CONCERT AND HIS NAME IS PRINCE (the artist formerly and currently known as Prince).

MACEO PARKER, considered one of the architects of funk music, played gritty saxophone (he’s played with James Brown,
Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, and Prince) and rocked out with his band. The crowd loved it.

Now, according to Hepcat, they are shouting for an ENCORE (I can even hear it over the phone). OMIGOD: IT’S PRINCE. IN BROOKLYN. I can barely hear Hepcat on the phone. He’s very excited. What a great night at Celebrate Brooklyn…sorry I missed it.

More: "He was wearing a white zoot suit kind of thing," says Hepcat. He doesn’t know what song he was singing but it was great. Hepcat didn’t have his camera but took some shots with his cell phone. We don’t know how to download those.

Back story: Hepcat was at the Park Slope Food Coop earlier in the evening and over the PA system someone said: "I have it from a reliable source that Prince is playing at Prospect Park!" Wide spread murmuring. He told me when he got home. Then he went to the park. You know the rest.
